Sending an announcement that LuaFooBiz v9.8 is ready, with bindings to
the Gaggle library and the Spuknic froozle-processor is more
"polluting", if you want to call it that, than adding two sentences
saying what those libraries are!

Actually, I think most people like to hear about whats going on in the
lua world, even if its not something they are specifically interested
in. Its not like lua-i is flooded with project announcements.

I should have to google to figure out what an announcement is about?
Really? :-)


Anyhow, a request to other people posting about their projects - please
remember to put a sentence or two describing what the project is about
that so that a general audience can know whether its worth following the
links and reading more, or whether its of no further interest to them.

Thanks!
